Greatest Military Leader of All Time?
Names like Patton, Zhukov, Alexander and Hannibal echo through time as some of the greatest military minds ever, who do you think was the greatest and why?
My vote goes to the Desert Fox, Erwin Rommel.
-
Sergeant Johnson...

Fabius-Fabian strategy that provided the shield of Rome. James Polk-Tricking the Mexicans to fire on US soldiers to start a war over Northern Mexico and justify it (very smart idea but brutal as well). King Henry V-To prevent British nobles from rising against him he starts a war in France so they can all have fun.

1 RispondiWhen I read the title the first person that came to mind was Rommel, I was not disappointed when I read the OP.

The greatest: Hannibal Alexander the great Genghis khan Timurlane Napoleon And some lesser know commanders that no one really knows: Khalid ibn walid Tariq ibn ziyad Salahuddin ibn ayyub Muhammad al fatih And some fictional ones: Aragorn son of arathorn The witch king of angmar

Stonewall Jackson. Although he may have fought for the wrong side in the American civil war, the confederates may have won had he not died.

Genghis Khan, because he conquered half the freaking world.

[quote]My vote goes to the Desert Fox, Erwin Rommel.[/quote] This. Looking back, you'll see that Germany's generals were actually [i]very[/i] astute to most of the Allies' plans (Rommel totally called D-Day). But their superiors felt they knew better. Of course.

Asterix and obelix. Darth raven. In real life there are many you can look for from the crusades to the far east of japan, from world war 2 to mesopotanian civilization. Even after world war 2 there are some great egenerals who fight wars with other tools, especially in the shadows. These generals never get the approciation.

In all honesty I've got to say Cato the Elder. This Roman leader decided it was time to absolutely destroy Carthage, just across the Mediterranean from Rome. After three wars, all of which Rome won, Cato decided he had enough and pushed his military to slaughter every remaining Carthagian. After fertilizing Carthage's soil with its inhabitants' blood, it's said that he went so far as to order his troops to sow the fields of Carthage with salt so that no plants could take root or survive. Yay Cato the Elder.

You claim to be the holy and glorious inheritors of the universe? I spit on your so-called holiness. You dare judge us unfit? After I have personally sent more than three hundred of your vainglorious ships to hell? After kicking your collective butts off Harvest - not once - but twice? From where I sit, we are the worthy inheritors. You think otherwise, you can come and try to prove me wrong.[/i][/spoiler] Dude was a BAMF.
